$$\iff k^4+2k^2+9=k^4+6k^2+9-4k^2$$$$=(k^2-2k+3)(k^2+2k+3)$$$$S=\underset{k=1}{\sum ^{\mathrm{\infty }}}\frac{k}{(k^2-2k+3)(k^2+2k+3)}$$$$S=\underset{k=1}{\sum ^{\mathrm{\infty }}}\frac{1}{4}(\frac{1}{k^2-2k+3}-\frac{1}{k^2+2k+3})$$$$S=\frac{1}{4}\underset{k=1}{\sum ^{\mathrm{\infty }}}(\frac{1}{k(k-2)+3}-\frac{1}{k(k+2)+3})$$$$S=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}-0)=\frac{5}{24}.$$
