I did this all wrong but got the right answer? Took half of .075, used d=(1+i)/i to get discount rate, and just added. Decimal was off, but i got the numbers right. Luck?

I think a reasonable rule of thumb is that if you did a problem in a non-standard way and got a different decimal answer that happens to round to the right answer choice then you probably got lucky.

Hi, I'm trying to make accurate illustrations for a data visualization task. I would like to create different solids based on the "cube 1". I would like to scale up "cube 1" times 100, 1000 etc. To obtain a solid that's comprised of 100 of "cube 1", do I just use the volume formula V=(a³)*100 ?

How did Euler do all the wonderful things he did without a today's technology? Or did he just do all of the wonderful things because he was so ahead of his time?
