Consider that complex-valued functions $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ satisfy the simultaneous ordinary differential equations below: $$\frac{\mathrm{d}p(x)}{\mathrm{d}x} = -ib\, q(x)\exp(-2iax),$$ $$\frac{\mathrm{d}q(x)}{\mathrm{d}x} = -ib\, p(x)\exp(2iax).$$ Here, $i$ is the imaginary unit, and $a$ and $b$ are real constants. Let $f(x) = p(x)\exp(iax)$ and $g(x) = q(x)\exp(-iax)$.
Show that the value of $|f(x)|^{2} + |g(x)|^{2}$ is independent of $x$, where $|A|$ denotes the absolute value of a complex number $A$.
