Answer

$ \left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 4 \end{array}\right]$ is not eigen vector for the given matrix

Work Step by Step

Given $$\left[\begin{array}{ll} -3 & 1 \\ -3 & 8 \end{array}\right],\ \ \ \ \ \ \left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 4\end{array}\right] $$ Since \begin{align*} \left[\begin{array}{cc} -3 & 1 \\ -3 & 8 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 4 \end{array}\right]&=\left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 29 \end{array}\right]\\ &\neq \lambda \left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 29 \end{array}\right] \end{align*} Then $ \left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 4 \end{array}\right]$ is not eigenvector for the given matrix
