By referring to matrix K, write MATLAB statement to:

a) Create matrix K (use colon or linspace and other special matrices, do not
key-in the elements one-by-one), then,

b) Sum all the third-row elements of matrix K

c) Determine the largest element (use built-in function) in the third row
of matrix K
d) Calculate the mean value of elements (use built-in function) in the
second row of matrix K
e) Create a row vector of L by extracting the last three elements of the
second row and the first three elements of the third row of matrix K
f) Create a row vector Q from the summation of second and last row
of matrix K, based on each corresponding element
