problem

A parabola has vertex of (4,−5)(4,-5) and has two xx-intercepts, one positive, and one negative. If this parabola is the graph of y=ax2+bx+c,y = ax^2 + bx + c, which of a,a, b,b, and cc must be positive? Enter the coefficients that must be positive, separated by commas. For example, if you think aa and cc must be positive, enter "a,a, cc", without the quotation marks.

Enter the coefficients that must be positive, separated by commas.  For example, if you think a and c must be positive, enter "a, c", without the quotation marks.
Original LaTeX notation
A parabola has vertex of $(4,-5)$ and has two $x$-intercepts, one positive, and one negative.  If this parabola is the graph of $y = ax^2 + bx + c,$ which of $a,$ $b,$ and $c$ must be positive?

Enter the coefficients that must be positive, separated by commas.  For example, if you think $a$ and $c$ must be positive, enter "$a,$ $c$", without the quotation marks.
