A Double Quantifier Inequality

Problem

Let f(x)=xmf(x) = |x - m| and g(x)=xxm+m27mg(x) = x|x - m| + m^2 - 7m.

1. If the equation f(x)=mf(x) = |m| has two distinct real roots in [4,+)[-4, +\infty), find the range of possible values of mm. 2. If for every x1(,4]x_1 \in (-\infty, 4] there exists x2[3,+)x_2 \in [3, +\infty) with f(x1)>g(x2)f(x_1) > g(x_2), find the range of possible values of mm.
