**Title: Understanding the Relationship Between Areas Under the Exponential Curve**

**Problem Statement:**
The area labeled \( B \) is three times the area labeled \( A \). Express \( b \) in terms of \( a \).

\[ b = \square \]

**Explanation of Diagrams:**

The image contains two graphs illustrating exponential growth using the function \( y = e^x \).

**Left Graph:**
- The curve represents the function \( y = e^x \).
- The shaded area under the curve from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = a \) is labeled \( A \).
- This area represents the integral \(\int_0^a e^x \, dx\).

**Right Graph:**
- This graph also illustrates the function \( y = e^x \).
- The shaded area under the curve from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = b \) is labeled \( B \).
- This area represents the integral \(\int_0^b e^x \, dx\).

**Relationship:**
- The problem states that the area \( B \) is three times the area \( A \).
- Mathematically, this is represented as:
  \[ \int_0^b e^x \, dx = 3 \cdot \left( \int_0^a e^x \, dx \right) \]

The task is to find the expression for \( b \) in terms of \( a \) based on the given relationship.
