Final answer:

The given statements are not sufficient to determine if point t is between points u and v on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is asking if point t is between points u and v on the number line.

(1) The statement t2 < 4 < u2 < v2 indicates that the squares of t, u, and v are all positive and increasing. However, it does not provide information about their order or relationship, so we cannot determine if t is between u and v.

(2) The statement u < 0 < v shows that u is negative and v is positive, but it still does not give us enough information about the relationship between t, u, and v. Therefore, the answer is (D) the combined statements are not sufficient to answer the question.
