The three basic trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos) and tangent (tan)
They are found by comparing two of the three sides of a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the the longest side of the right triangle, and is opposite the right angle. The other two sides are the legs. One leg is adjacent to an angle, and the other is opposite the angle.
The three ratios are
sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse
cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse
tan(x) = opposite/adjacent

Yes. All functions are relations, but not all relations are functions. Functions have to have only one y-value per x-value.
Yes, although functions that do so are not one-to-one functions. A vertical parabola is an example of one such function.

The exponential function, logarithms or trigonometric functions are functions whereas a complex variable is an element of the complex field. Each one of the functions can be defined for a complex variable.
Logarithmic functions are converted to become exponential functions because both are inverses of one another.
