My approach:
x=[2 0 1 -1 3];
h=[1 2 0 1];
% therefore
y=conv(x,h)
y =
2 4 1 3 1 7 -1 3

It would depend on whether that u[n-1] is the unit step function or not.
If it is then x[n] would be 0 for n < 0, and 1 for n >= 0 -- an infinite stream of 1's. And h[n] would be 0 for n <= 1, and 0.9^n for n > 1 -- an infinite stream of non-negative numbers. You cannot express that as a finite convolution sequence.
Let us see what it would turn out like for continuous functions:
sympref('heavisideatorigin', 1)
syms n integer
x(n) = heaviside(n)
h(n) = (sym(9)/sym(10))^n * heaviside(n-1)
syms t tau
C(t) = int(x(tau) * h(t-tau), tau, 0, t)
[C(-1), C(0), C(1)]
assume(sign(t-1) == 1)
simplify(C)

@Li Hui Chew, yes your approach is correct. Is that all you wanted - confirmation of your approach?
