10. The figure 4 shows the curves \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = A - B e ^ { - 0.5 x }\) and \(\mathrm { g } ( x ) = 26 + e ^ { 0.5 x }\) \begin{figure}[h]

\end{figure} Given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) passes through \(( 0,8 )\) and has an horizontal asymptote \(y = 48\)
a. Find the values of \(A\) and \(B\) for \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\)
(3)
b. State the range of \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\)
(1) The curves \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) and \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\) meet at the points \(C\) and \(D\)
c. Find the \(x\)-coordinates of the intersection points \(C\) and \(D\), in the form \(\ln k\), where \(k\) is an integer.
