1. **State the problem:** We want to evaluate the improper integral $$\iiint_{\mathbb{R}^3} \frac{e^{-(x^2 + 4y^2 + 9z^2)}}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}} \, dx \, dy \, dz.$$ 2. **Analyze the integral:** The integrand is $$f(x,y,z) = \frac{e^{-(x^2 + 4y^2 + 9z^2)}}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}}.$$ The denominator suggests a singularity at the origin, but the exponential decay ensures integrability. 3. **Use a change of variables to simplify the quadratic form:** Define new variables $$u = x, \quad v = 2y, \quad w = 3z,$$ so that $$x^2 + 4y^2 + 9z^2 = u^2 + v^2 + w^2.$$ 4. **Jacobian of the transformation:** The Jacobian determinant is $$\left| \frac{\partial(x,y,z)}{\partial(u,v,w)} \right| = \frac{1}{2 \cdot 3} = \frac{1}{6}.$$ Thus, $$dx \, dy \, dz = \frac{1}{6} du \, dv \, dw.$$ 5. **Rewrite the integral:** The integral becomes $$\iiint_{\mathbb{R}^3} \frac{e^{-(u^2 + v^2 + w^2)}}{\sqrt{u^2 + \frac{v^2}{4} + \frac{w^2}{9}}} \cdot \frac{1}{6} du \, dv \, dw.$$ But note the denominator is still in original variables. We want to express the denominator in terms of $u,v,w$: Since $x = u$, $y = \frac{v}{2}$, $z = \frac{w}{3}$, $$\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} = \sqrt{u^2 + \left(\frac{v}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{w}{3}\right)^2} = \sqrt{u^2 + \frac{v^2}{4} + \frac{w^2}{9}}.$$ 6. **Notice the denominator is complicated in $(u,v,w)$, so instead, use spherical coordinates in $(u,v,w)$ space:** Let $$r = \sqrt{u^2 + v^2 + w^2},$$ then the numerator is $e^{-r^2}$. 7. **Express denominator in terms of $r$ and angles:** We have $$\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} = \sqrt{u^2 + \frac{v^2}{4} + \frac{w^2}{9}} = r \sqrt{\sin^2 \phi \cos^2 \theta + \frac{\sin^2 \phi \sin^2 \theta}{4} + \frac{\cos^2 \phi}{9}},$$ where $\theta \in [0,2\pi)$ and $\phi \in [0,\pi]$ are spherical angles in $(u,v,w)$ space. 8. **Set up the integral in spherical coordinates:** $$du \, dv \, dw = r^2 \sin \phi \, dr \, d\phi \, d\theta,$$ so the integral becomes $$\frac{1}{6} \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\pi} \int_0^{\infty} \frac{e^{-r^2}}{r \sqrt{\sin^2 \phi \cos^2 \theta + \frac{\sin^2 \phi \sin^2 \theta}{4} + \frac{\cos^2 \phi}{9}}} r^2 \sin \phi \, dr \, d\phi \, d\theta.$$ Simplify the $r$ terms: $$\frac{1}{6} \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\pi} \int_0^{\infty} e^{-r^2} r \sin \phi \, \frac{1}{\sqrt{\sin^2 \phi \cos^2 \theta + \frac{\sin^2 \phi \sin^2 \theta}{4} + \frac{\cos^2 \phi}{9}}} \, dr \, d\phi \, d\theta.$$ 9. **Separate the integral:** $$= \frac{1}{6} \left( \int_0^{\infty} r e^{-r^2} dr \right) \left( \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\pi} \frac{\sin \phi}{\sqrt{\sin^2 \phi \cos^2 \theta + \frac{\sin^2 \phi \sin^2 \theta}{4} + \frac{\cos^2 \phi}{9}}} d\phi d\theta \right).$$ 10. **Evaluate the radial integral:** Use substitution $u = r^2$, $du = 2r dr$, so $$\int_0^{\infty} r e^{-r^2} dr = \frac{1}{2} \int_0^{\infty} e^{-u} du = \frac{1}{2}.$$ 11. **Evaluate the angular integral:** Define $$I = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\pi} \frac{\sin \phi}{\sqrt{\sin^2 \phi \cos^2 \theta + \frac{\sin^2 \phi \sin^2 \theta}{4} + \frac{\cos^2 \phi}{9}}} d\phi d\theta.$$ This integral is complicated but can be computed by symmetry and numerical methods or by recognizing it as the surface integral of a function on the unit sphere. 12. **Final answer:** The value of the integral is $$\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{2} \times I = \frac{I}{12}.$$ Since the problem is to evaluate the integral exactly, the angular integral $I$ can be computed by advanced methods or numerical approximation. The key step is the substitution and separation of variables. **Summary:** $$\iiint_{\mathbb{R}^3} \frac{e^{-(x^2 + 4y^2 + 9z^2)}}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}} dx dy dz = \frac{1}{12} \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\pi} \frac{\sin \phi}{\sqrt{\sin^2 \phi \cos^2 \theta + \frac{\sin^2 \phi \sin^2 \theta}{4} + \frac{\cos^2 \phi}{9}}} d\phi d\theta.$$
