Let vec A and vec B be two non-parallel...

Let ` vec A and vec B` be two non-parallel unit vectors in a plane. If `(alpha vec A+ vec B)` bisects the internal angle between ` vec A and vec B ,` then find the value of `alphadot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`vecA.(alphavecA+vecB)=vecB.(alphavecA+vecB)`
or `alpha+vecA.vecB=alphavecA.vecB+1`
`or (vecA.vecB)(1-alpha)= (1-alpha)`
since `vecA.vecBne 0 Rightarrowvecx`
