Find the volume of the sphere:

f(x,y,z)=e^(x^2+y^2+z^2) over x^2+y^2+z^2≤9 using spherical coordinates

After working trough I get this enormous number 228965, when I know its 113.097 using the simple volume formula for a sphere. I think I am having trouble with the integration of e^(rho^2)*rho... Any tips guys?

Which is of course correct. Apologies for my confusion.
