7 Fig. 7 shows the graphs of the curves \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }\) and \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \sin x\) for \(0 \leq x \leq \pi\). \begin{figure}[h]

\end{figure} The maximum point on \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \sin x\) is at A , and the curves touch at B .
\(\mathrm { A } ^ { \prime }\) and \(\mathrm { B } ^ { \prime }\) are the points on the \(x\)-axis such that \(\mathrm { A } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { A }\) and \(\mathrm { B } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { B }\) are parallel to the \(y\)-axis.
Show that \(\mathrm { OA } ^ { \prime } = \mathrm { A } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime }\).
