The forward-backward charge asymmetries of the b and c quarks are measured with the JADE detector at PETRA at {Mathematical expression} GeV and 44 GeV using both electrons and muons to tag the heavy quarks. At {Mathematical expression} GeV, a simultaneous fit for the two asymmetries yields the result Ab=-9.3±5.2% (state.) nd Ac=-9.6±4.0% (stat.). The systematic errors are comparable with the statistical uncertainties. Combining the measurements at both energies and alternately constraining the weak coupling of the c and b quark to their Standard Model values (ac=1, ab=-1) increases the precision of the measurement of coupling constant of the other quark. Using this procedure ab=-0.72±0.34 and ac=0.79±0.40, where the numbers are corrected for {Mathematical expression} and the errors include both statistical and systematic contributions. The mixing parameter for continuum {Mathematical expression} is determined to be χ-0.24±0.12 if both heavy quark coupling constants are constrained to their values in the Standard Model.
