Problem Statement

On the sides AB AB and AC AC of the triangle ABC ABC consider the points D, D, respectively, E, E, such that DA+DB+EA+EC=O. \overrightarrow{DA} +\overrightarrow{DB} +\overrightarrow{EA} +\overrightarrow{EC} =\overrightarrow{O} . If T T is the intersection of DC DC and BE, BE, determine the real number α \alpha so that: TB+TC=αTA. \overrightarrow{TB} +\overrightarrow{TC} =\alpha\cdot\overrightarrow{TA} .
