b.) Express each of the following linear programming constraints using the variables defined in (a).

1. Exactly $100,000 will be invested altogether. 2. At least$50,000 must be placed in short maturity bonds.
3. No more than $30,000 may be invested in high-risk issues. 4. At least$25,000 must be placed in tax-free issues.
