In the second degree equation of a conic section (ellipse/hyperbola), I have seen many books following this method to find out the centre of the conic section-
1) Differentiate the equation w.r.t x treating y as constant
2) Differentiate the equation w.r.t y treating x as constant.
3) Solve the above two equations to find out the centre of the curve
I searched many books but did not find the theory behind it.
Can anyone explain me?
