1 + {2, 3, 4, 45, 98}
{3, 4, 5, 46, 99}
This works because Plus has attribute Listable. See Sections 1.2.3 and
2.6.3 of The Mathematica Book, 5th Edition (or similar sections for
earlier versions), whose electronic form is part of the Mathematica
distribution.
While obviously one learns through experimentation, it's certainly worth
your while to read at least the beginning of the book before proceeding
very far with Mathematica.
