To find the value of \( \alpha \) such that \( \alpha \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) bisects the internal angle between the non-parallel unit vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the condition of angle bisector Since \( \alpha \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) bisects the angle between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \), we can set up the condition that the angles formed by \( \vec{A} \) with \( \alpha \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) and \( \vec{B} \) with \( \alpha \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) are equal. ### Step 2: Use the dot product The angle bisector condition can be expressed using the dot product: \[ ...
