Answer

False

Work Step by Step

$y=Ae^{x+b}$ must be solution to our desired ODE So lets make ODE from given equation to see whether its true or not. Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$ $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d(Ae^{x+b})}{dx}$ Since $A$ is constant and differentiating $e^{x+b}$ using chain rule we get $y'=Ae^{x+b}$ which is equal to $y$ hence $y'=y$ is the desired ODE but it is of first degree, hence the answer to our question would be false.
