Default sequence question

Could someone show me what to do here:
For each positive integer n, let fn be the function defined by
fn(x) = x^2n + x^(2n−1) + ... + x^2 + x + 1. Let mn be the minimum of fn on the interval [−1,0]. Prove that the sequence (mn) converges to a limit A and then find A.

Thank you for your help.
