A trajectory can be displayed by the equation y = -0.1(x - 5.5)2 + 4.5, where x represents the distance the ball travelled (in metres), and y represents the height of the ball from the ground (in metres). Assume that the server is standing at the very end of the court. How high (in metres) does the server hold the volleyball above the ground before it is served? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
