roots of a cubic polynomial

Consider a cubic polynomial of the form




$$f(x)=a_3x^3+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0$$



where the coefficients are non-zero reals. Conditions for which this equation has three real simple roots are well-known. What conditions would guarantee that none of these roots is positive? In other words, what constraints on the parameters would guarantee that the polynomial has no positive roots? Please provide references also, if possible.

I have injection $f \colon A \rightarrow B$ and I want to get bijection. Can I just resting codomain to $f(A)$? I know that every function i...
