German term

Möglichkeit der Probe

German to English Science Mathematics & Statistics linear equation
Hallo the Allwissende!

Could you please help me with the word "Probe" in this case? Can't figure it out what it means.

Die Begriffe "Lösungsmenge" and "Variablengrundbereich" sowie Möglichkeit der Probe kennen und anwenden

I have translated it as

Understanding and applying the „solution set“ and „variable basic range“ as well as
the possibities of samples.

But it still sounds strange.

substition method

Check out the link -- used in many different sorts of math problems (the second link shows one with calculus).

I would suggest instead of

Understanding and applying the solution set and variable basic range as well as the possibities of samples.

the following:

Understand and apply the terms solution set and basic variable range and the substitution method.

And I'm not sure about basic variable range.

I forgot to include a German link with usage of "Probe". Check out this one (and look at step 5.):

trial value

Seems to be substitution of a trial value to see if the equation balances.

neutral Eric Zink : Your explanation is correct, but why do you choose the term you did?

Thanks Eric. That (or "test") seems most natural to me in English. We certainly don't use any variants of "probe".

availability of checks

m.E. ist dass damit gemeint.
Die "Probe" im ST ist die "Überprüfung"
Peer comment(s):

agree Zareh Darakjian Ph.D. : Yes, I don't think "Probe" means "substitution method" (even though that's one particular method of checking - there are other methods). It simply means "checks".. as you suggested.

possibilty of back substitution

Peer comment(s):

disagree Eric Zink : No This involves solving multiple problems, using the solution of the first problem to solve the next one.
