An ellipse is rotated through a right angle in its own plane about its centre, which is fixed , prove that the locus of the point of intersection of a tangent to the ellipse in its original position with the tangent at the same point of the curve in its new position is
`( x^(2) + y^(2)) ( x^(2) + y^(2) - a^(2) - b^(2)) = 2 (a^(2) - b^(2)) xy`
