integrate with ev and 'risch option returns the right answer.
(C1) c:3^log(x);
LOG(x)
(D1) 3
(C2) ev(integrate(c,x),'risch);
LOG(3) LOG(x)
x %E
(D2) -----------------
LOG(3) + 1
(C3) diff(%,x);
LOG(3) LOG(x) LOG(3) LOG(x)
LOG(3) %E %E
(D3) ---------------------- + ---------------
LOG(3) + 1 LOG(3) + 1
(C4) factor(%);
LOG(3) LOG(x)
(D4) %E
(C5)
