Inflexion points and second derivative

falling, or horizontal.......
How can we use the second derivative to determine if an inflexion point is rising/falling or a horizontal inflexion point?

You don't,

If you have a point of inflection, that means the second derivative is equal to zero.
The first derivative signifies whether the curve is rising, falling, or horizontal.
