Cristian:

M = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}}
{{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}}
Plus @@ M
{9, 12}
Plus @@ Transpose[M]
{3, 7, 11}
>(b) How can I construct a (m+1,n) matrix where the new row's entries

Append[M, Plus @@ M]
{{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {9, 12}}
(c) In general, how can I attach additional columns (o rows) to an
existing matrix?
Transpose[Append[Transpose[M], {a, b, c}]]
{{1, 2, a}, {3, 4, b}, {5, 6, c}}
Append[M, {a, b}]
{{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {a, b}}
