Answer 1

if you are using form_for, use the form_for syntax

<%= form_for(@calculate) do |form| %>
  <%= form.label :number %>
  <%= form.text_field :number %>
  <%= form.label :root %>
  <%= form.text_field :root %>
  <%= form.submit "Submit" %>
<% end %>

this will automatically handle the routes if the @calculate is new object it will submit it to create or if it is already saved it will send a put request to edit action

Answer 2

Ah hah! I updated my view to:

<%= form_for @calculate, :url => { :action => "create" } do |f| %>
  <%= f.label :number %>
    <%= f.text_field :number %>
    <%= f.label :root %>
    <%= f.text_field :root %>
    <%= submit_tag("Submit") %>
<% end %>

And now it works. Awesome.
