HELP! Impulse Response h(n) problem

Please help me solve this problem. Atleast the correct answer indication is also very much appreciated.

A system has impulse response h(n) = (1/2)^n-3 U(n-3) and the input is x(n) = 3^n U(n)

a)Find the output by direct convolution.

b)Find the output by using z-transforms.

Thanks for your kindness, time and effort.

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
