How did you do the implicit differentiation? I got a different slope.
OpenStudy (mathmate):
hint:
from
\(x^2+y^2=(3x^2+4y^2-x)^2\)...............(1)
we differentiate with respect to x:
\(2x+2yy'=(6x+8yy'-1)^2\)......................(2)
You would substitute (0,1/4) into .....(2) and solve for y' = slope, and hence find the tangent line passing through (0,1/4).

@mathmate are you ignoring the chain rule part of the ( )^2 thing?

\[2x+2yy'=2(3x^2+4y^2-x) \cdot (6x+8yy'-1)\]

My bad, forget there was a square to be taken care of! Thank you!

Did you guys get a slope of 1?
