Summary: We are concerned with the representation of polynomials for nabla dynamic equations on time scales. Once established, these polynomials are used to derive Taylor’s formula for dynamic functions. Several examples are given for special time scales such as \(\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{R}\), and \(\overline\mathbb{Z}\) for \(q>1\). These polynomials are related to those given for delta dynamic equations.
