Sam is comparing the half-life of two isotopes of uranium. The half-life of Uranium-238 is 4.5×109 years. The half-life of Uranium-233 is 1.6×105 years. He computed how much greater the half-life of Uranium-238 is than that of Uranium-233, and his calculator displayed the number 2.81E4. What is this number in scientific notation?(1 point)Responses2.81+1042.81 plus 10 superscript 4 baseline2.81×10−42.81 times 10 superscript negative 4 baseline2.81×1042.81 times 10 superscript 4 baseline4×102.81

The number 2.81E4 is already in scientific notation. It is equal to 2.81 times 10 to the power of 4, or 2.81×10^4.
