Question
**Problem Statement:**

Find the equation of the line tangent to the curve \(8x^4 + 8y^2 = 16\) at the point \((1, 1)\).

**Instructions:**

Provide your answer below: 

*(A text field follows for input of the answer.)*

**Explanation:**

To solve this problem, you'll need to:
1. Differentiate the equation with respect to \(x\) using implicit differentiation.
2. Evaluate the derivative at the given point \((1, 1)\) to find the slope of the tangent line.
3. Use the point-slope form of a line to find the equation of the tangent line.
