Calculating DFT of a specific polynomial This seems like a simple problem but I'm getting the impression I'm missing something.

The problem

Given the values $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_n$ such that $DFT_n(P(x)) = (v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_n) $ for $ P(x) = \sum\limits_{i=0}^k a_ix^i$ , $k &lt; n$ - find $ DFT_{2n}(P(x^2)) $ 

My attempt:

First expand $P(x^2) $ :
$$P(x^2) = a_0 + a_1x^2 + \ldots + a_k^{2k}$$
Let's denote by $W^j_n$ the j'th root of unity of order n.
We have : $$ W^j_{2n} = e^\frac{2\pi ij}{2n} = e^\frac{\pi i j}{n}$$
Using this information, let's evaluate a term p of $P(x^2)$ on some $W^j_{2n}$ :
$$a_p(x^2)  = a_p(e^\frac{\pi ij}{n})^{2p} = a_p(e^{2\pi i}) ^\frac{jp}{n} = a_p$$ (since $e^{2\pi i} = 1$)
So, when evaluating any term of the compound polynomial on some unity root of order 2n we get $\sum\limits_{i=0} ^k ak$ and therefore the final answer is:
$$(\sum\limits_{i=0} ^k ak, \sum\limits_{i=0} ^k ak,\ldots, \sum\limits_{i=0} ^k ak)$$

This seems wrong, I don't even use the information about $(v_1, \ldots, v_n)$(should the answer be in terms of those?)

Any help would be appreciated.
You haven't explained what you mean by the DFT of a polynomial, so I'm assuming you mean the polynomial evaluated at all $n$th roots of unity, that is,
$$ v_i = P(\omega^i), $$
where $\omega = e^{2\pi i/n}$ is a primitive $n$th root of unity. Let now $Q(x) = P(x^2)$, and let $\varpi = e^{\pi i/n}$ be a primitive $2n$th root of unity, $\varpi^2 = \omega$. Let us examine its DFT $w_1,\ldots,w_{2n}$:
$$
w_k = Q(\varpi^k) = P(\varpi^{2k}) = P(\omega^k) = v_{k \mod{n}}.
$$
We conclude that the DFT of $Q$ is
$$ v_1,\ldots,v_n,v_1,\ldots,v_n. $$
