The real numbers x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, and x_5 satisfy
x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 = 8,
x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 + x_4^2 + x_5^2 = 12,

x_1^3 + x_2^3 + x_3^3 + x_4^3 + x_5^3 = 16.

 

Let m be the smallest possible value of x_5, and let M be the largest possible value of x_5.  Enter the ordered pair (m,M).
