A Derivative Meets a Parameter

Problem

Let e\mathrm{e} be the base of the natural logarithm, let f(x)=ex+sin⁡x−2xf(x) = \mathrm{e}^x + \sin x - 2x, and let g(x)g(x) be the derivative of f(x)f(x).

1. Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve y=f(x)y = f(x) at the point (0,1)(0, 1). 2. If for every x∈[−π3,0]x \in \left[-\dfrac{\pi}{3}, 0\right] we have x⋅g(x)⩾x2+mx \cdot g(x) \geqslant x^2 + m, find the range of possible values of the real number mm.
