Engineering >> Electrical EngineeringEnergy Used in Florida since 1960by Jacob Holleman
Submitted : Spring 2018
For the project I started out by researching the amount of energy consumed per year in the entire state of Florida starting in 1960 and ending in 2006. Those values were then graphed and there was a trend of the amount of energy being used, increasing each year. Then I calculated the slope from the graph and used that in the equation and with 45 *10^15 Btu being the y intercept in the equation for that was the amount of energy used in 1960 with 1960 being the starting point on the x-axis. I then made the slope intercept form line equation to determine the amount of energy used in later years. That equation was then integrated to determine the total amount of energy over the course of the years. Related Links:
