A Plant newbie with some questions

I've just been bought two lovely plants, I have no idea what they are called but I seem to think one is something along the lines of a banana leaf plant ?

The plants have been in my apartment for a week, my mum initially sorted out the soil for them and has now left me with these two babies that I have no idea how to care for them... help?!

First off one of the plants with lots of leaves on has a few leaves that are really drying out on the ends... could anyone explain why this might happen and how I can solve it ?

Other than that to me it looks healthy, it's not drooping in any way as far as I can see.

The banana leaf plant, the leaves have started to split and I'm not sure if this is normal or there's an issue somewhere ? The split leaves seem to be a bit droopy, the new leaf that has opened is still upright but seems to have a few cuts on the top of it.

I've attached photos, perhaps someone would be so kind as to give advice on how to care for my plants and if there are any issues ?

Many Thanks

p.s I live in California and the temperature has been between 90-105 this week, I've had air con on and the plants are not in direct sunlight but do get light through from patio doors.

Also just another add in here, the plants have plenty of room around them so there's no one knocking them as they're walking past etc.
