#x^2+y^2=16#

Explanation:

The standard form for a circle with center #(h,k)# and radius #r# is
#(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2#.

In your case, #h=0# and #k=0#. All you need now is your radius, #r#. You find that by looking at the distance between the center and any point on the circle. The point you are given is #(4,0)#. That is #4# units away from the center (#(0,0)#)

So now you have
#(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=4^2#

This simplifies to
#x^2+y^2=16#
